We deployed two GPS collars and one innovative harness-mounted GPS backpack with Iridium or Globalstar satellite data transmission on feral pigs in mountain rainforest with deep valleys in New Caledonia during the hot wet season. Both collar and backpack with Iridium transmission achieved high success rates of locations and the rate increased with decreasing interval length between locations. The collar with Globalstar transmission had very low fix rates at 13-h intervals and was insufficient to produce robust results. The backpack harness was still functional after 20 months of use and proved to be a reliable alternative to collars. We tested GPS telemetry on feral pigs in New Caledonia. Both collar and an innovative backpack with Iridium satellite data transmission achieved high success rates of locations. The backpack harness proved to be a reliable alternative to collars.
